SMM White Papers

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Each attendee was invited to complete a one-page white paper that provided background on what they do in Sustainable Materials Management (SMM), as well as their unique insight into their suggested policy direction for SMM. They used this space for opinion, scientific justification, statistical data, or other. The goal of this submittal was to provide input to a Summary white paper which will be provided to Summit attendees in advance, and will contribute to the NRC National SMM Action Plan prepared based on the Summit.

White Paper Format

After the Background information, please include a separate section called: “National SMM Plan Recommendations.” As the key to the summit will be the development of action-oriented strategies intended to promote SMM throughout North America, this white paper will give you a chance to suggest what you would like to be done nationally to support local SMM initiatives.
